A jaw-dropping bungalow conversion in Weybridge

Our newest homify 360° highlight takes a look at a project by Weybridge-based Concept Eight Architects, who were responsible for the conversion of an old bungalow to make it into a large, contemporary-styled detached house.

With a £450,000 budget, this makeover resulted in a two-storey house with elevated views onto a large garden with river and woodland landscape. In addition, extensive glazing was added to the structure’s front and rear, maximising the connection with the garden.

Open and spacious

OATLANDS DRIVE

The entrance hall has an open-riser staircase (which successfully becomes one of the main focal points of the downstairs area) and polished concrete floor which extends to the large kitchen and family room. There are two further reception rooms on the ground floor, as well as a large utilities area and gym.

A rich style

OATLANDS DRIVE

We are just crazy about the richly textured and layered look of this formal living room. This is indeed one example of how a bold, dark wall colour can be a successful choice, and how something as simple as a floor rug can become a main design feature.

At the back

OATLANDS DRIVE

At the rear of the house, we locate a spacious tile-clad terrace that becomes a large outdoor living area with separate outdoor entertaining zones, including a boma-inspired seating spot and fire pit, as well as a BBQ station and a hot tub, all of which enjoy prime views of the landscaped garden.
